It's one of the most supple sports cars I've ever driven. The ride was suprising good. My Boxster is worse over the bumps than the Elise & the Mini Cooper S is much worse than both of them! The supercharged Toyota engine has a nice dollop of torque low down but will still rev past 8000 rpm & the non supercharged on doesn't wake up until at least 4000 rpm. Elise's never used the Honda designed, high revving VTEC engines... they used the K-Series which was much better low down the rev range & much more stable when tuned for 200+ bhp. Anyways, Sean? You know that Elise has your name on it! (Man I'm a car geek as well as reef geek! - heaven help me!) . |

Its the simplicity or the Lotus that I love. I would never take it on the track but an nice 220km/h run up the Cocahala Highway would be nice . Some people are pulling the Toyota powerplant out in favor of a Honda engine but I think I could live with the Toyota engine, its redline is set at 8250 rpm and the variable valve timing dosen't kick in till 6000 rpm . |

Lets get a Reef Geek car cruise together when I get one. When you come over in a couple weeks we'll probably spend as much time talking cars as we do corals. I think you should be a Lotus salesman/person Thanx Sean |
